MSU For a Day: MSU For a Day is an outreach program designed to acquaint Montana cities with the university, its programs, and the opportunities available to the public. The program is a grassroots outreach tour featuring outstanding MSU faculty. Faculty visit select Montana high schools to provide exciting lectures in the classroom, to share resources available, and to interact with high school faculty. University administrators meet with community and business leaders, alumni, media, and educational supporters. Usually some type of program or cultural event is offered for alumni and the community to enjoy in the evening.

Programs are tailored to the needs and interests of each community. Please contact Julie Kipfer at 406-994-4571 or via email at jkipfer@montana.edu for further information.
